This is an article from World of Monkey Island (www.worldofmi.com) for all you MI game fans, the webm,aster spoke to an offical Lucas Arts representative at the E3 Game show (Where Full Throttle 2 was announced) 1. Is it possible that we will see a Monkey Island 5 in the future or have you definitely closed the book on that franchise? They are defiantly going to make Monkey Island 5 since it is their most popular franchise. However, we shouldn't expect it in the near future. 2. With every new version of Windows it is getting more difficult to get the classic LucasArts games to run. Is there any chance LucasArts will release patches that will make the old games compatible with DirectX or perhaps reprogram the games and release them all in a bundle? LucasArts will consider doing something like this and they are looking at all options, but there are both financial and technical aspects to take into consideration. (In the Mixnmojo interview with Simon Jeffery he said they are considering streaming or downloadable delivery of those games from their website.) 2.2 How do you feel about the fan-made programs that are in development, which makes it easier to get the classics to work on newer computers? Tom Sarris was not familar with any of these programs, but after a brief explanation he concluded that as long as the programs make it possible for legal copies to run better on new computers and doesn't promote pirating, he didn't see any legal problems with them. The conclusion is that Monkey Island 5 will defiantly happen, but not in the near future. Also, it sounds like LucasArts will eventually re-release updated versions of the classic adventures in some way. And finally, they have no problems with the fan-made programs that help the old games work on newer computers. All very good news I must say :) Enjoy =D |
